Chapter 2: Determination in front of the grandfather

At this time, the courtyard of the Tan family was filled with a strange smell of gunpowder. There were three people in the courtyard, but only two people who seemed to be arguing were heard. Tan Zhen was sitting in the protocol seat at this time, while his wife Lin Ruoshui was standing behind him. On the guest of honor sat an old man with a half-white beard.

"No, anyway, I think Hui'er is still young now, and he can wait another three years, and besides, I don't feel at ease if you leave him alone on the road now. This child has never tried to live without relatives for a long time when he is so old. Not to mention that it could be months away now. From the capital of Chuyang Road, you can see the figure of the green forest people everywhere on the road, in case there is something missing along the way, it is not as simple as money. You should be able to think of these things!" The person who spoke was Tan Wenhui's grandfather, Tan Zhen's father, Tan Yaoguang. Tan Yaoguang sat steadily on the guest of honor seat at this time, but his body shape was similar to Tan Zhen, although most of his beard was white, his spirit was very sufficient. His eyes are like eagle eyes, and his face is full of tiger spirit. It's just that Tan Yaoguang's careful thinking is basically known except for his precious grandson.

"Dad, Wen Hui is 20 years old this year, if it was twenty years ago, I am afraid that you would have swept him out of the house or gone out to be an executioner for three years. With such a big husband and a strong age, it is natural for him to go out and see the world. We always keep him at home, isn't his 16 years of reading books in vain? Besides, Wen Hui is not to say that he is going to the capital, I think he is now going to the Central Plains, the Western Regions, Saiwai, and Penglai. There are not many places where these martial arts people are concentrated can hold him, his leisurely practice is so perfect! Dad, you, are you really worried about him going?" Tan Zhen picked up the words halfway, with a playful smile on his face. Lin Ruoshui, who was standing behind, also hid his face and snickered.

Tan Yaoguang not only didn't see anything uncomfortable on his face at this time, but also said with a majestic face: "Okay, you Tan Zhen, you let him learn literature instead of martial arts, this is good, secretly teach him martial arts behind my back." Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang, you tell me, what did you teach him?" Tan Yaoguang looked at Tan Zhen with a torch in his eyes.

At this time, Tan Zhen and his wife were really uncomfortable, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to be so rude. Helpless, Tan Zhen had no choice but to reply casually: "I didn't teach much, I taught him "Returning to the Heart" at the age of six, and began to practice getaway at the age of eight. After the age of twelve, he practiced some hard grips on fists and feet, but he did not teach weapons. And I think Wen Hui will eventually enter the temple and stay away from the rivers and lakes, and what he has learned now is enough for him to protect himself, so he doesn't need to learn anymore. This year, it happens to be another exam. I decided to let him try it and see the world. Dad, I think this is good for Wen Hui. It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and it's time for him to go out and have a look. Dad, are you right?" This was obviously said to Tan Yaoguang, the front was telling him Dad, I know very well what you taught, and the back was saying that Tan Wenhui is not in the rivers and lakes, and there is no need to learn anymore. It's just that because of his son's identity, he can only say it a little more tactfully.

Tan Yaoguang was not embarrassed at all, but reprimanded his son mercilessly: "The Recipe for Returning to the Heart" has been taught, so why don't you also teach "The Recipe for Returning to the Heart"? You are so stingy with your son, I will have your son like this. I was so generous to you back then. After speaking, he looked at Tan Zhen with disgusted eyes.

Tan Zhen heard his father so rude, and said angrily: "Dad, you know that you still want to teach the "Returning to the Heart Spectrum", but Wen Hui of "Returning to the Heart Spectrum" must not learn anymore, it was because of "Returning to the Heart" and "Returning to the Heart Spectrum" that our family was so torn apart, you won't forget it, right? I can't care so much, Wen Hui must go to the capital to participate in the exam this year. I've decided. After speaking, he was going to take Lin Ruoshui, who was saluting Tan Yaoguang, out.

Tan Yaoguang was also angry, picked it up directly from the chair, and yelled: "Tan Zhen, you made a turtle twenty years ago, and now you want your son to be a turtle? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the courtyard creaked, and Tan Wenhui came back. I heard a voice from the main house and went straight to it. As soon as he arrived at the door, Tan Wenhui saw Tan Yaoguang and shouted very happily: "Grandpa, are you here at the end of the day? This time it's almost lunch, you can stay and have a meal with us, don't go to the wheat straw house in the field outside the village." Okay? I still have something to ask my grandfather. Tan Yaoguang showed a kind smile when he saw Tan Wenhui, listened to Tan Wenhui's words, and said kindly: "Okay, I won't leave today, let's have lunch here." Haha!"

When Tan Zhen and his wife heard this, they were naturally very happy in their hearts, but they didn't be happy for too long before they heard Wen Hui say, "Since grandpa is also here, let's say it now." As soon as he said that, Tan Wenhui knelt down in front of Tan Zhen and kowtowed three times. made Tan Zhen and Tan Yaoguang look dazed and surprised.

"The child asks his father to allow the child to take the Beijing exam this year!" After speaking, he knocked on the floor again, and the three people standing in one place, their expressions changed. Tan Zhen changed from shock to doubt, and from doubt to joy. And Lin looked at Tan Zhen in shock, and then at her father-in-law. The most wonderful expression is Tan Yaoguang, who was shocked at first, then turned into confusion, then from confusion to doubt, then from confusion to loss, and finally became a little angry. It was just a momentary thing, and before Tan Zhen and his wife could react, Tan Yaoguang asked with a straight face: "Hui'er, tell me, why did you think about going to the exam this year for no reason." Didn't grandpa tell you last time, let you participate in three years. ”

Tan Wenhui raised his head unhurriedly, and replied very naturally: "Grandpa, you know that I have been studying since I was four years old, and it has been sixteen years, and I feel that I have begun to understand the way of sages, the policy of governing the country, and the law of benefiting the people. Dad often taught Wenhui that if a husband is born in heaven and earth, he needs to benefit heaven and earth. I passed the township test last year, and I think I should try it this year. If he can get the middle school, Wenhui will definitely give full play to what he has learned in his life and benefit one party. If you don't pass, you will accumulate experience for the next exam. Isn't that bad?"

When Tan Yaoguang heard this, his eyes darkened, and his heart was full of disappointment: You haven't learned "Returning to the Heart" yet, if you wait another three years, I believe you will be able to learn it, you have such good martial arts qualifications.

Tan Wenhui listened to his grandfather's words, secretly looked at Tan Zhen, and saw that he still had no reaction, he was happy for a while, and replied randomly: "Grandpa, that martial arts practice can be done at any time, don't delay me to participate in the exam, don't worry, I won't be tired of martial arts." ”

Tan Zhen next to him listened to it and interjected: "Are you sure about this year's exam?"

"Dad, don't enter the official gate, don't go home!"

"Okay, in terms of martial arts, you don't want to learn it. Concentrate on it!"

Tan Yaoguang wanted to say something at this time, but looking at the father and son, he didn't say it after all!
